Today I ran a 10k. My time was 1.05.56 (a 10.38 min pace) - not great, but certainly not last either. I feel good (legs are a little sore, but that's expected); I'm not exhausted; I'm even getting some work on a paper done. This past January, the 30 min walk for my Concepts class wiped me out completely. That's not even a year ago. Now today, I ran ( Read more... )

Today I picked up the last antibiotic prescription in my Lyme disease protocol. 1 bottle of Doxycycline, the standard treatment for people when they first show symptoms, will be my final bottle, the last one of hundreds over the last 9 years. Today I also picked up my race packet for the 10k I am running on Saturday. 1 bottle of medicine, the last ( Read more... )

1) Handy week! Handy week was last week. Oh so much fun! I went to more bands this year than I ever have before. Mmm. There's just something about good music that touches deep down in the soul. On Wednesday, Mama, Daddy, Austin, and I went to see Gabe Rikard, an old family friend who plays acoustic guitar (His band has an interesting rock sound and ( Read more... )

I like food, especially tasty food, but this whole daily eating thing is something I just don't enjoy at all. I dread it actually; the constant having to find something to eat so my body has fuel to ( Read more... )

This angers and frightens me. I wish I knew more about the specific circumstances ( Read more... )

I have a doctor's appt. this afternoon, and for the first time in a long time, I'm not worried about it. I know I haven't lost weight. (I'm hoping that since I've been to the gym regularly since my last appointment, maybe I added 1/4 lb or so in muscle. No aerobic. Well, very, very little aerobic, but lots of resistance training. I have little ( Read more... )

I don't understand how I can go from having really great feel-good, focused days (exempla gratis: the last several days) to feeling fuzzy, confused, and like I've been run over by a truck over night. Thought I was just tired from a long day yesterday when I woke up this morning, so I figured if I got up and did something I would feel better, so I ( Read more... )

Boo! I have a weird admirer at the library ( Read more... )

~Feeling better today. Still tired, but not so fuzzy. Not hurting near as much. Still having yucky tummy problems.

~I found chocolate that does not break any rules. :)

~Moving tomorrow. Not near ready enough. Plus is hot and I've been having dizzy spells off and on all day.

~My boy is awesome.
